Recurring Dream

I’ve had the same or at least very similar dreams three nights in a row now… Nothing cohesive, just flashes of images…

I dream that I’m lying in bed, in the darkness of the night, but for some reason I can see the wall right beside my head. I sleep in a loft bed, so I’m only about 2 feet from the ceiling, and I see the top 18 inches or so of the wall, and when I wake up in my bed in the dream, and look up at the wall, it is crawling with spiders – all kinds of shapes and sizes… some of the obviously poisonous tropical varieties.

There are flashes of faces… I don’t remember whose, but the impression is that they are people I know well…

I keep thinking the words “youth ministry” when I think back on the dream…

The strongest image is the spiders, followed by the words, and then the faces…

Don’t really know if I think this dream means anything… but it’s been bugging me this morning, so I thought I’d jot it down… plus, any time I dream the same thing multiple nights in a row, I begin to wonder if I need to pay attention...

You can imagine how pleasant it is to dream that you’re lying awake in bed, and that the walls are crawling with spiders…

Thoughts? Is this one just bad pizza, or do I need to pay attention?
